About

Best Friends Forever is a tabletop role playing game for 2-6 players of all ages. In it we tell a story about a group of young friends hanging out, having adventures, and exploring how our friendships change and grow.

Each Boxed Set includes...

17 Friends to represent our characters in the story

35 Charms to represent things our Friends like about each other and how we change and grow

6 Charm Bracelets to hold the charms and serve as a rules reminder

1 Hangout Guide spiral-bound with instructions, 13 hand-painted hangouts, a hangout map, and a yearbook to sign at the end of each session

52 Friendship Cards with narrative prompts to guide us in the creation of our story

1 Six–Sided Die to help us track how long each hangout will last. You might roll it to see if Ms. Wei kicks us out of her backyard, or use it as a counter to track our pizza supply. Each hangout is a little different!

The Hangout Map shows each of the 12 different hangouts we can choose from.

Each hangout has its own set of scenes for us to choose from, plus its own rule for how long this hangout will last.

Based on Fall of Magic

Inspired by the award-winning rpg, Fall of Magic, BFF uses evocative visual and verbal prompts to inspire creativity and build meaningful connections between players as they build their own unique story together.

Risks and challenges

We are a publisher that also does most of our own manufacturing, and with our past projects, unexpected production delays have been our biggest challenges.

One example of this is that this past winter we unexpectedly had to move our entire production facility to a new space. This put us behind in the production of our previous game, Night Forest. The project is now completed, all digital rewards have shipped, and all physical rewards are expected to ship by May 15th.

To prevent something like this from happening with BFF! we are partnering with Panda Game Manufacturing: producer of Dead of Winter, Scythe, and many others high quality games. PGM has an excellent track record of delivering high quality product on time, and we are confident they will do a great job with BFF!

If delays do occur, we will keep our backers updated and make sure they get the best version of BFF! we can produce.
